- agree. It doesn't change a thing. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Mar 13, 14:43 3
  - It legally changes some things, I suppose. Moves it out of criminal court probably entirely and makes any civil trial challenging. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 14:56 2

- Colin Allred, set to face Ted Cruz, voted to ban TikTok, in spite having a very active account on the platform. Here are two others. -- (link) - Qale Mar 13, 15:49
- they’ll just go to reels on insta. it won’t be hard -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 13, 14:19 15

  - Writers could have just gone to other industries instead of fighting Hollywood, it wouldn't have been hard. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 14:20 8
    - TikTok isn’t going anywhere if China just sells off its interest. but if it’s willing to shut it down instead, the question answers itself -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 13, 14:22 7

        Elon should have his security clearance revoked this afternoon for a whole host of reasons, not the least of which is his reliance on the Chinese mkt -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 13, 14:48 3

  - the voting age gen z’s have started to age out of TikTok now. it’s the under-18 kids who care most and well tough shit (will also probably win parents - hollywood big shot Mar 13, 14:09

      - With Facebook we know. With TikTok it's maybe, they might, possibly, kind of risky, sorta-kinda. And Twitter? Well, that's Elon Musk's playpen. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 13:40 17
        
        Plus American company owned on the public market vs a private foreign-owned entity tied to a hostile government. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 13:43 16
        
        You say hostile government like China is the same as N. Korea, Iran, or Russia. It's definitely not the same. They need us as much as we need them. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 13:47 15
        
        China would slit our throats tomorrow if they felt it was a win. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 13:58 13

        Sure anyone could hack anyone. Welcome to the internet age. - Loyola Mar 13, 15:01 2
        
        I dunno -- I'd like to think that we're actually trying to stop nation-states from learning our information becuase people are stupid. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Mar 13, 15:08 1
        
        The point is you can go down rabbit holes and imagine the worst about any new technology. Ban the internet because paedos might use it. Ban email - Loyola Mar 13, 15:23
        
        the means to the collect the precious data is exactly the same. It is being harvested. My point is they are all bad actors. Take steps to stop them - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 13, 14:19
